title: Culture, development, and theory of mind: comment on Lillard (1998)
abstract: In response to A. Lillard's (1998) suggestion that research on theory of mind does not adequately examine the cultural context of this thinking, the author proposes an extension of this view that emphasizes the development of theory of mind in sociocultural context. Questions about the study of theory of mind both across and within cultural communities are also raised.
